how to avoid or get rid of the transfer funds dialog

[David Carlson]

Bram,

I don't think GnuCash would generate this pop-up unless one of the accounts
that you are trying to correct is denominated in USD rather than EUR.  You
would need to resolve that issue first, then see if you need to create a
new scheduled transaction.  If that is not your case, then tell us what
version of GnuCash you are using for a more detailed answer.
